Cityscapes EP was originally released back in 2010 under the Creative Commons license on Jamendo platform, and since then became one of the most sought for lounge albums with 600k+ listens. It musically portrays urban scapes and their vibes which are interwoven within our daily motions. This brand new release extends and revisits original Cityscapes with remastered versions of five original tracks and five brand new tracks, making it an LP worth of 54 minutes of music submerged into lounge, chillout, funk, nujazz and triphop. Fortadelis said to us that it was difficult to shift the mindset five years back and get into original groove in order to make new pieces that would fit the release, but we admit that this shifting was more than successful. Press play and enjoy the tour through urban scapes between the skyscrapers.

„Urban areas, scapes and ambiences were always inspirational for me. This album works best when you’re moving through the streets, driving the night drive, stepping on a rainy, empty street. At least, these were blurry images I had in mind. I find myself most comfortable inside the niche of electronic music, mainly because of vast array of virtual and physical devices that can produce sounds from digital information and electricity. I belive that musical ideas are like strings of fabric weaving audible textures. There are countless opportunities to express ideas in terms of rhythm, dynamics, harmony and melody and this process has always been my passion. The joy of creating something new that hasn’t been heard before, coming directly from imagination makes it incomparable to any other activity. I believe that during this process some ascpects of our creativness and feelings were captured and that they are being released while our brains decode the musical information, making an opportunity to build and explore our own cityscapes.

Kind regards,

Fortadelis“
